Noël Godin Profession: Pie-Thrower
Feature Docs
Pitch
Nicolas Sarkozy, Bernard-Henri Lévy, Bill Gates. At first glance, these figures have nothing in common. Yet, they all crossed paths with Noël Godin, alias Georges le Gloupier—the famous Belgian pie-thrower and an unclassifiable figure of surrealism in action. From the 1980s to the 2010s, Godin turned the cream pie into a comical and symbolic weapon, targeting the egos of political, media, and cultural figures to serve as a reminder of one simple truth: no one is untouchable.
In The Pie-Thrower, Noël Godin looks back behind the scenes of this pastry crusade: his most memorable strikes, the reasons behind his burlesque activism, and the unconventional philosophy that has guided him from the start. Alongside him, accomplices, friends, and witnesses recount a collective adventure driven by humor, provocation, and a distinct vision of freedom.
